You got two seconds
with two checking
two by two arms pressing your 
two guard
he flex in 
the two step in 
you to the four
the four back to you
you shoot, swoosh!
now you 
in heaven, 
the banners, 
the rafters, 
the ceiling,
the roof off
truths caught 'cause
the snooze box tunes rock you 
you cough cough 
boyyyyyyyyyyyy, you thought?

a night mayor 
of the city of dreams
I fight players 
like I dribble the bean
my Nikes laced up 
play the fiddle for kings
but if sport 
is only entertaining the court
then I belittle the team 

what's motivation if the motivation
is your own glory?
there's more to your own story
your mother, 
your teacher,
your friend 
who discovered you 
breaching 
your lover under the 
bleachers

memories make memories

and memories are the final treasure
because money and idols of pleasure
exit when your mind's close to a ledger
it's like etching banknotes in a stone age
the writing's on the wall
cake is good but the icing gives it all
the frosty sweetness satisfying the jaw

jawbreakers.
we never let the gum drop

keep the eye on the ball
like God spying the sparrow 
the optics is prying 
but, naw,
he just watching his 
prize like a hawk

the predator 
that subbed like a redditor
so the next time you look 
to give credit for
a flex
on the deck
don't disrespect
you owe the debt to us

Let US make man in OUR image.

    imagination? 

    just, just, go back to sleep.
